Files and folders
Find, read, write, upload and organise the files in a workspace, and get back anything that changed.
A workspace is a tree of ordinary files and folders. Most of what you do in the web app happens in the sidebar on the left, where the tree lives, and in the top bar above whatever file is open. Your agents work on the same files through a synced folder or the MCP server, so everything on these pages applies to their changes as much as yours.
Start with find and view files if you're new. If two edits ever collide, conflicted copies explains what you'll see and how to tidy it up.
In this section
- Find and view filesBrowse the file tree, search by name, and see how Treehouse shows markdown, HTML, code, images and everything else.
- Create and edit filesMake new files and folders in the web app, edit markdown, code and HTML, and save your changes.
- Upload and download filesAdd files from your computer to a workspace, decide what happens when names clash, and download a copy of any file.
- Rename, move and organise filesRename, move, reorder and delete files and folders, and give them icons, from the sidebar tree.
- Turn a folder into a page or calendarGive a folder a front page with a README, or show a folder of dated notes as a calendar you can reschedule by dragging.
- Front matter referenceThe YAML block at the top of a markdown file, and the keys Treehouse reads from it to label, title and schedule your files.
- Publish an HTML pageShow HTML files as full pages, decide when their scripts may run, and share them publicly as reports, dashboards or decks.
- See and restore earlier versionsLook through every change to a file, see who made it, view or restore an older version, and catch up on what changed while you were away.
- Conflicted copiesWhen two edits to the same file collide, Treehouse keeps both. Here's what a conflicted copy is, how to spot one and how to resolve it.
- Keep files privateMake a file or folder visible only to you and your own agents, even in a workspace you share with others.
